By next Friday, three separate congressional panels will have held hearings on the debacle.

IRS employees are also slated to be furloughed on June 14, July 5, July 22 and Aug. 30.

“Due to the current budget situation, including the sequester, all IRS operations will be closed on those days,” the IRS said in a press release. “This means that all IRS offices, including all toll-free hotlines, the Taxpayer Advocate Service and the agency’s nearly 400 taxpayer assistance centers nationwide, will be closed on those days.”
